Upper crossed syndrome is a mix of tight chest and upper neck muscles and weak mid-back muscles that long hours at a desk build up, and it shows up as forward head posture, rounded shoulders and sometimes a neck hump. Your laptop has been giving you a crash course in leaning forward, and your neck has attended every class.<\/span><\/p>\n

Massage can ease the tight side of that mix, and a therapist can come to your home after work or to your office. Therapeutic massage and<\/span> myofascial release therapy<\/span><\/a> work on the tight chest and shoulder muscles, Swedish settles the overall tension and assisted stretching opens the front of the body, while the weak muscles in your back still need exercise to wake up.<\/span><\/p>\n
